As your end-to-end integration partner, we’ll help you with every step of your S/4HANA implementation journey, whether you’re starting from scratch or performing a migration of your legacy system. 

Using our BXT philosophy (Business, eXperience & Technology), we align your business needs with the technology that can make it hum by designing and implementing SAP systems to help sustain continuous growth. With expertise that runs enterprise-wide, we go all in and deliver end-to-end, ensuring every implementation adds up to growth.

Implementing SAP S/4HANA requires a mix of disciplines, including business and technology professionals. At PwC, we understand that you may want to implement SAP S/4HANA with your internal IT team or your preferred technology partner. 

Implementing S/4HANA often goes hand in hand with a business transformation. As one of SAP’s premier partners, we've introduced a new formula that gets this transformation done right. We work together with your established implementation partner to ensure value creation. 

We help you with:

• structuring and executing your business project

• designing your SAP products to meet business outcomes

• supporting the business with their validation procedures

• planning and executing transition processes

• enabling your business through effective change management

We provide risk-based quality assurance to protect investments, identify and properly handle risks and realise benefits in your SAP transformation. We are part of the project team and provide independent advice to the relevant governance bodies (e.g. project sponsor, steering committee, programme management, project management). 

We provide an independent view as to whether key focus areas (e.g. internal controls, compliance requirements, security and cyber considerations, operational excellence) are sufficiently addressed throughout the implementation by constructively challenging the implementation team. We proactively identify risks and involve subject matter experts to help you manage those risks and safeguard the project outcome. This proactive approach allows to adjust potential gaps before Go-Live and thus avoiding expensive rework after go-live.

A SAP transformation programme is not only a technical exercise and your programme might be missing specific expertise. At PwC we have a broad range of experts that can supplement your (internal) project team and bring in relevant expertise. 

Our expertise includes:

• Finance: Supporting your finance function to deliver the insight that can make a real difference to the business.

• Local statutory and tax (indirect and direct tax) requirements: With a constantly changing tax landscape, it's hard to keep up to date with all local statutory and tax requirements across the globe. Keeping on top of those and getting a transparent practical list per country, which looks consistently across countries, is an essential basis to not only define what will be included in your SAP design for each of the country roll-outs, but also is of extreme importance to establish your "big rocks" in the core design phase, where you need to define the foundational design elements, critical to fully realize the value of your ERP implementation or transformation.

• Risk and controls: We design and implement control frameworks. We help you ensure that the relevant control elements are implemented in your new SAP system, e.g. 3-way match.

• Supply chain: We help companies improve supply chain performance and realize the vision of the Connected Supply Chain, supported by SAP solutions. 

• (Cyber) security: We design and implement your SAP cyber security and authorization concept based on your business requirements to address cyber risks.

• Analytics: We work with our SAP clients to create integrated, end-to-end digital solutions from strategy and innovation through execution to solve our clients’ most complex business challenges.
